SASKATOON With more than 100 wildfires burning around Saskatchewan, communities are preparing themselves in case things take a turn, especially as temperatures are set to increase through the week. “The general situation for La Ronge and area is we have multiple fires in our communities,” said Maruice Ratt, emergency response coordinator for the Lac La Ronge Indian Band. “Our main concerns are for Grandmothers Bay and Stanley Mission as they have fires less than 10 kilometres from each community. “Voluntary evacuations for higher needs people, that’s the priority groups that we have in La Ronge right now. We do have an alert issued out for Stanley Mission as well for evacuation. We are not sure if we will we evacuate at full scale yet, we are waiting for updates from the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency to help us make decisions with that.”
